some say Mike Commodore is still celebrating...

I hated the Spezza scratch to start the year. I thought bringing him in was a fucking great move by Dubas, at 700,000 grand too. I didn't understand one.

Don’t kill me “he takes a sip of water” 😂😂. The guy used to drink water at the almost awkward times in his pressers.

IS the Rear Admiral broadcasting from his Mom's bedroom?

The fact you never hear is name anymore spoken by anyone around the league speaks volumes to the character he is.

Hey Whit... your face blends in nicely with that bottle of pink whitney on the wall lol!

every single time i watch a barstool video with headphones in i literally jump out of my chair thinking something is flying by my head lmao

So true about “quote-man” and takes sip of water lol hahahaha

He had it so right on his stint with DETROIT: The Red Wings would have won at least one more Cup with a different coach at the helm.

9:48 Sheldon Kennedy is great

Tyson Barries goal, a beaut.

still don’t understand why full podcasts aren’t out on youtube ...fio

This made head news in Finland. It was built on the Mike Commodore story (your exclusive).

When are pink Whitney's coming to Ontario bud

9:53 Sheldon Kennedy reference- that’s who came to my mind when I first heard the name Sheldon Keefe too.

Biz’s kill last Saturday coulda coached team Canada to the gold - hahahaha

Babs sided with Ovechkin and his comments.The boys seemed to tune him out after that. Before Marner got hurt you could see the bench having zero fun.

COAHCH FO DA MAHHLEES

Keefe and Dubas go back a way. This has been a long time coming. Dubas has some players he really likes and Babcock seemed to be his polar opposite in both preference and treatment. It'll be interesting to see how Keefe decides to do things... but it should be pretty in line with whatever Dubas wants. That should improve the mood of the players... especially the top guys that were 'suffering' under Babcock. I'm not a Leafs fan, but if one thing comes out of all of this... I hope it is that Spezza gets given a few more chances.

Perfect example was Craig Berube @ St Louis Blues last year and coaching changes can make a difference

Commodore just creamed his pants

Hey Biz, how was that snack? (AKA your own fingernails) hahahaha

You need Commodore on

To be fair, Scotty Bowman wasn't well liked either, but he wasn't a conceited megalomaniac. Players can and will play for a coach they don't like, but they may not play for one they don't respect.

Time to get to work...go get it guys...as for Babs, good, it was time...we went as far as we could go under Babs...thanks for your work , time, and effort Babs...time to move on, get better, move forward...eye on the prize...go get those cups guys...congrats Keefe...now lets get to work, a full 60 min. every game from now on...play hard, fast every shift or sit...big win streak coming up...GO LEAFS GO.

Let’s go Leafs!

Disturbance in the force! Haa love it!

It was getting bad. As a leaf fan I was actually hoping they would lose towards the end there just so they would replace him and I think the players were doing the same thing . Now it's on the players . You got paid and now it's time to get to work !

Sheldon Keefe was a solid replacement and has actually made the team his, in their style of play. Finally, a cup contender!

That was weird how he just mentioned Morgan Reilly lol

It would be cool if you guys posted the entire episodes on here. A lot of people prefer watching podcasts vs listening. I doubt anyone would care if the editing is a little rough.

shoutout to tyson barrie scoring tonight with the new coach. new season starts now

Pat Quinn at the 06 Olympics proved that not just anyone can coach a group of great players and win with ease. Go look at that team Canada roster full of hall of famers and look at how miserably they failed . I'm not a huge fan of that argument because Babcock winning only 1 cup, just proves how difficult it is to win and stay on top

What a stache biz

Yeah Commie!!!

Good talk men, I 100% agree this is the best thing that could have happened to Toronto and I hope for Babcock's sake, this is a flipping wake up call. He's not the best coach, he is very arrogant and stubborn. I mean WAKE UP YOU JUST GOT FIRED!!!! IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT BABCOCK. I bet more than half the players in Toronto hated playing for him, Babcock is NOT A FLIPPING PROPHET!!!! I love the podcast men.

Babs coached a great team in Detroit not even he could fuck that up.he could roll all 4 lines in Detroit

Could this have happened? Commodores interview set things in motion. A bunch of expendable goons who are a risk to a team if they lead the team in party misbehavior, have infected the elite players perspective.

Lol “shit canned” that’s hilarious take

RA is always a gem lol

Highest goals against, you don't win that way

Same thing as teams putting together an All Star of free agents, doesn't work. They say its not fantasy sports, its a real team. So no matter how stacked the 08 09 Detroit teams were. The coach gets credit. Just like the coach takes blame for the Stttacked Pens of 1993. Wicked take on Babs, Whits. Lol Thanks for the show guys.

The clock is now on Kyle Dubas... it was in Babcock but now its Dubas show... And the players own this

The players tuned out Mike , coaches have a shelf life of 4-5 years, I'm sure the 50 million Mike is sitting on helps .

@9:52 *Sheldon Kennedy*

The dude gave dan Cleary more minutes than Datsyuk in game 7 in 09.

4:37 They won't be able to use the coach as an excuse.

KENNEDY

Did RA flash the dab pen there at the end...? 🤣

Is Ray Whitney dunk?

Sounds like he was like mike keenan

the mollys ked

Surprisingly Biz was right on

Past 4 cups: PIT, PIT, WSH, STL. 1st year pit coaching change. Second year, obviously, same coach. WSH no change STL changed coach. So arguably 3/4 cups are related to coaching changes p

He got a gift from Bowman the team was already great when he got there.

Whit- "Give it or take it"

Dude sounds like Bostonian Bobby Bottleservice.

I get what Babs was trying to do, bring structure and defence to a bunch of highflying cherrypickers but sometimes you just gotta accept what you have. Just let the boys play.

I think there's a few things. Your going to get tired fast trying to impress a coach. You can ride inspiration forever. On top of that the Leafs have two lines of top talent that as top talent have some of the lowest TOI in the league as far as top lines go. When you have a player who's historically has been the best in the NHL 5 on 5 and your losing games why are those lines playing so few minutes. Why when you have Defensive lines that aren't performing why aren't you changing them up. Also a ton of people are saying they didn't build a Babcock team. A coach being paid the biggest contract in league history should be able to adapt and he clearly couldn't. I hope he looks back on it and learns from it and comes back stronger and more able to adapt.

Trotz>Babcock

Whitney has the best one liners probs on the planet

Its the riff between Matthews and Babcock and add this losing streak.. game over.

Early retirement for Mr.Babcock. He looks ten years older than he is. Down time will be good for him.

R A is making me dizzy moving around so much

Bizz is always high now lol

What was the comment re Reilly? He liked him or didn't? Lot of laughing but why?

Sheldon Kennedy

Whitney made enough money in the nhl to get wireless earbuds

12:28 Just for the record, Babcock has gotten out of the first round since 2008... the Red Wings were back in the Final in 2009. Babcock also went to the second round in 2010, 2011, and 2013. Worth noting, perhaps, is the fact that in 2013 his Wings were eliminated by the eventual champion Chicago Blackhawks after previously holding a 3-1 series lead.

Good episode. Surprised a chick didn’t walk by in the background on her way to the kitchen at Biz’s, love Whits college dorm living with the Pink Whitney advertising covering a hole in the wall, and the heart’s wall boarder in the Rear Admirals room at his grandmas. Priceless.....

Did not think Blashill would outlast Babcock

Babs should have said “I’m gonna keep betting on Nik Lidstrom, I’ve always bet on Nik Lidstrom and in retirement I’ll continue to bet on Nik Lidstrom”

Should have hired Ted Nolan.

Leafs actually didn’t get their first shootout until after they clicnched a playoff spot last year

I demand Mike Commodore and his hair.

Spitting twinklets layoff the Pink Whitneys..

theres no excuse whatsoever for the leafs not to make the playoffs. if they dont make the playofffs this year, ship this entire team OUT.

Mike Grabcock

Boom goes the dynamite

RA's bowston aksent Iz pwetty funny

That’s funny because he was with the wings and I’ve never heard anyone say they hate babs. Lifelong wings fan and never heard that until you had commy on. Guy has a grudge but he also sucked ass

Who the fuck are the Toronto Mollies?

babcock was going one way with the team, dubas was going the other way. When they got rid of Lou Lamoriello it all went downhill. Lou was someone who had discipline and could set players straight. Lou would've never let nylander or marner get such terrible contracts, especially in TORONTO.

Babs is a winner

It's funny to think as Bruins fans they even really give AF about who coaches the Leafs.....lol.

This is hard to listen to with earphones.. please get the popfilters

What the fuck was Shanahan thinking ever hiring him to begin with He should know better being a player.

Nice border wall paper

The Leafs will bounce back and maybe make the playoffs next season.

Mike Babcockslap

Whit, who's sheldon Kennedy?

He should have won atleast 2 cups in Detroit. As time goes by you start to see why they didn't.

A year later, its amazing what has come out. Not a very nice man. What he did to Marner was disgusting. Good thing Marner wasn't my son. Later, on the CBC, he said something about tanking to get the first overall pick. If that is true, Mr Bettman needs an investigation. That said, I cannot see the players ever tanking. Its not in their DNA. If yes, what a conspiracy. I have always considered Prairie kids as the most honest hard working people on earth. Asking: how does Babcock fit into that group. He does not, in my opinion.

Toronto will always be a third class NHL franchise until they get stable

OMG do you guys think Babs is sitting around thinking about the opinion of the chiclets guys? Because I do lol

Players win games... Babcock might not have been liked but the players have to be good enough... the leafs defense is very suspect

Huge night vs Arz for S.Keefe. I expect 2 goals, a couple big hits and a fight! Pls, Shanny gave the keys to a Ferrari to a G1 driver.

Leafs need to stop playing for themselves and start playing for the team. That's what Babs cared about, the bonding of the team, not selfish players lobbying for 10million dollar contracts. Dubas, nylander, and marner are what drove this team to shit.

Tight Stencils

The Mollies
